Are Arsenal’s three new additions enough for the new season?

Morning all. So here we are then, the 2017/18 season kicks off later this evening and it’s Arsenal v Leicester who get things going on Sky Sports fancy new television channel. It’s highly likely the pundits will reel out the same old stuff before, during and after each game, just as it’s quite likely that […]

Defence short for Leicester. Abdominal strain, you’re having a laugh Arsene…

Morning all. Throughout the summer I’ve changed my view many times over the Alexis Sanchez situation. It should never have come to this, just like with Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain but it has and the club have to be sensible. If the stories about PSG offering £80 million for the Chilean are true and the player […]

Alexis out! Is Arsenal heading down a similar path to Man Utd, but worse?

Morning all. In a footballing world where so many players believe the grass can actually be greener on the other side, when it comes to loyalty, there’s very little in the game. Matt Le Tissier could have signed for any club deemed better than Southampton back in his day but no, there was only one […]

The Community Shield means a lot more to the season than some may think….    

             Morning all, What a season Arsenal are having, a ball is yet to be kicked in the Premier League and already they’ve picked up a treble. With two pre-season ‘trophies’ already in the bag from their travels in Australia and the Emirates Cup back home, the Gunners made it […]

Perfection! Arsenal spring surprise by beating Chelsea…

Morning all. What a hash we made in defending the corner which led to their opening goal. But you know what, on another day Xhaka won’t slice his clearance, instead it’ll hit row z or somewhere nearby. Despite that, the Swiss international ended up with a big bottle of something I’d like to get my […]

Arsenal bid turned down again? Reiss Nelson – the best bits…

Morning all. One of the highlights of Arsenal FC’s pre-season so far has been the impressive performances of 17 year old Reiss Nelson which, despite playing out of position, have included a Man of the Match award whilst on tour in Sydney, an assist against Benfica in the Emirates Cup victory and praise from Arsene […]

Arsene going for broke? It was only a matter of time for Alexis Sanchez.

Morning all. Well well, I bet you didn’t see that one coming eh? Monaco want Alexis Sanchez! The press have been slow to break this story haven’t they, after all we’ve reportedly wanted Thomas Lemar for weeks. On paper a swap makes sense, but as far as Arsenal go, losing Alexis would be as Wenger […]

Arsenal’s Dembele bid rejected. Thomas Lemar transfer imminent after Monaco agree deal for replacement?

Morning all. Determined not to write about the Alexis saga knowing it’s hard not to, I had to grin after seeing the photos of our man whilst training over the last couple of days. All smiles he was, no tantrums like Neymar, Gibson or a few other players who are clearly trying to force a […]

Alexis and his lawyer stop off in Paris en route to London? Wenger wants another player to ignore transfer speculation….

Morning all. It’s all looking far too familiar, isn’t it? The new season is upon us and yet here we are with a squad which not only looks unbalanced, but under strength too. Not only do we have the contract fiasco for a few players going on but if Wenger is planning to add to […]

Sanchez trying to delay Arsenal return? Last chance for a few this weekend…

Morning all. The Emirates Cup, love it of loathe it it’s back having skipped a year in 2016 so the turf could be tarted up. It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year already really. This weekend is the last time for younger players and fringe players to push their way into contention for […]
